- Serves: 4
- Difficulty: Piece of cake
- Prep Time: 20 minutes
Ingredients (12)
- 2 cups jasmine rice (cooked, leftovers work perfectly!)
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 teaspoon ginger, finely grated
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 medium zucchini, quartered and sliced
- A handful of mushrooms, sliced
- 6 eggs, beaten (or 2 whole eggs and 4 egg whites for a lighter option)
- 2 tablespoons milk
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- Soy sauce, optional
Let's Get Cooking!
- Cook your jasmine rice, following the package instructions, and set aside for later.
- Grace your chopping board with the onion, garlic, and ginger and give them a fine chop.
- Stir-fry the chopped onion, garlic, and ginger in your skillet with a splash of olive oil until the onions soften and turn translucent.
- Add the zucchini and mushrooms to the party. Keep stirring until the veggies are delightfully tender. Remove the veggies from the pan and set them aside.
- In a bowl, whisk your eggs, milk, and a pinch of salt and pepper.
- Time to bring your skillet back to life! Add sesame oil, letting it heat up a bit, then introduce your egg and vegetable mixture. Spread it evenly around the pan.
- Crank up the heat to medium-high and let the omelette set for a bit. Then, reduce the heat to low and give it a gentle shake every now and then to ensure it doesn't stick.
- Folding this omelette like a real pro is ideal, but if it ends up more like a scrambled mess, don't despair! Pop it under the broiler for a few minutes to cook the top.
- Serve your omelette with a generous scoop of jasmine rice, soy sauce if you fancy, and another sprinkle of salt and pepper for good measure.
Pro Tips:
- Need a shortcut? Perfect! Leftover rice is more than welcome in this dish.
- Feeling flexible? Switch up the veggies according to your preferences or what you have on hand.
- Why not add cheese for that extra bit of flavor? Low-fat options can fit in nicely.
- For an additional nutritional boost, consider adding uncategorized nutritious ingredients such as spinach or bell peppers to your Veggie-Packed Omelette with Jasmine Rice.
- In the sautéing process, remember to season the vegetables aside from the onion, garlic, and ginger with a tablespoon of soy sauce for an extra layer of flavor.
- Instead of simply whisking the eggs, try adding 2 tablespoons of beaten egg whites for fluffier omelette texture.
- Before serving, consider garnishing your Veggie-Packed Omelette with a dollop of salsa or avocado slices for an extra punch of flavor and added nutrition.
